Halle de Pellegrue

Hall - 1909 to 1913.
Architect: Bontemps.
Builders: Frères Boyer.
Castillon limestone, steel, iron and cast iron.
Since the bastide was founded in the 13th century, 2 or 3 wooden covered market halls have followed one another. In 1776, following a decision by the municipality, the covered market was demolished and replaced by a new building, still made of wood. In 1902, the municipality had the 18th-century hall demolished, and the current building, inspired by the work of Gustave Eiffel and the Monségur hall, was not begun until 1909. Work was completed in 1913. With the building in a state of disrepair, the municipality asked residents in 1979 to vote in a referendum on whether to demolish or restore it. The latter was approved by 419 votes to 183. It took two years to rebuild the hall.
